“He was happy,” Johnson said with a big smile, referring to Devon. “I didn’t talk to him but I heard from him.”

Running back Orleans Darkwa said the team still has Walker’s pads hanging in the locker room -– among other things the team does to keep Walker high in their thoughts.

“Some people pray over (the pads),” Darkwa said. “We have his name still in the locker room. It’s right across from me, so I see it every day. I pray every morning when I wake up and every night before I go to sleep just to let him know I’m hoping he’s all right. He’s still on my mind, and I’m hoping for improvement.”
